Flying to ski resorts with 20 low cost airlines - INFOGRAPHIC

Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics are now in full spring. Have the winners inspired
you to hit the piste? You may be surprised but transferring your skis and boots
may cost you quite a lot. The recent research made by WhichAirline.com shows
that they make a big impact on the final cost if you choose “wrong”
airline.

The most expensive & the cheapest: who wins the SKI battle?

In the research, WhichAirline.com went through fees of 20 most popular
European low-cost airlines to find out how much passengers have to pay when
travelling with their ski equipment (= skis or snowboard, ski poles and boots).
The results can be quite surprising as the difference among the fees can raise
up to €120 per return flight.

Even though many of us would expect Ryanair to be the most expensive, the
truth is that it comes in at 3rd place with €50 per one-way flight. So who
charges the most? Two airlines are the most expensive when it comes to skis –
Volotea and Smart Wings – both charge €60 per one-way flight.

On the other hand, there are airlines that will take your ski equipment free
of charge – these include germanwings, Jetairfly or Air Berlin (when flying
with their basic FlyDeal class). And that’s what makes the difference
of €120.

For €120 you can rent carving skis, ski poles and boots for up to 7 days
e.g. in some famous ski resorts in Austria, France or Italy. So is it worth
bringing them with you?

WhichAirline, formerly known as FlyLowCostAirlines, searches more than 100.000 routes operated by both traditional and low cost airlines to bring you the best low cost flights available. The website helps you visualise flight duration and stopovers, and find the flights that best suit your time and budget.
